In Western terms, Kundilini Yoga can be understood as a biological statement couched in the language of poetic metaphor. The system made a heroic attempt to join together the seeming disparate entities of body and mind. It is a very complicated doctrine; in oversimplified terms, the system encourages the practitioner to progress through the control of six stages, called chakras, of body-mind coordination. The sixth, the highest and most exalted state, is called the sahasrara. The physiological site of this sixth chakra, the sahasrara, is located in the center of the forehead; it is symbolized by an eye--the so-called third eye, the inner eye, or the eye of the mind. When this eye is opened, a new and completely other dimension of reality is revealed to the practitioner of yoga. Western scholars when they first came upon this literature took the third eye to be an appropriately poetic metaphor and nothing else. AND WHY DOESN'T LX EVER HOP ON TO POST?

From there it moved to the Phonecians and then to the Greeks, who called it the Ouroboros, which means devouring its tail. The serpent biting its tail is found in other mythoi as well, including Norse myth, where the serpent's name is J=F6rmungandr, and in Hindu, where the dragon circles the tortoise which supports the four elephants that carry the world. Alternate spellings include: oroborus, uroboros, and oureboros. and soon ORBeborus ;) The ouroboros has several meanings interwoven into it. Foremost is the symbolism of the serpent biting, devouring, eating its own tail. This symbolises the cyclic Nature of the Universe: creation out of destruction, Life out of Death. The ouroboros eats its own tail to sustain its life, in an eternal cycle of renewal. From good orb to bad orb. From a book by an early Alchemist, Cleopatra, the black half symbolises the Night, Earth, and the destructive force of nature, yin. the light half represents Day, Heaven, the generative, creative force, yang. Alchemically, the ouroboros is also used as a purifying glyph.

Hello group. I am going to be DJ'ing a chill out room in the next few weeks and I am looking for some effects type stuff to throw in the mix. I am going to take Tape Beatles, of course. However I am looking for some other stuff to mix in. Ideally, something similar to Tape Beatles would be cool. I am going to avoid Negativeland tho, as I used that at my last gig. Can anyone suggest any other bits along these lines? Thanks alot in advance.
